BM 2609140297 10-04 10/21/04 9:59 AM Page 8 ATTACHING PSA "STICK-ON" ABRASIVE SHEETS Your sander can also be used with PSAbacked "stick-on" abrasive sheets (sandpaper), which have pressure sensitive adhesive. 1. Peel protective sheet from the back of PSA sheet. 2. Align PSA sheet with backing pad and press firmly in place. Notes: • Make sure that SheetLoc™ System's rear clamp lever is latched, even when PSA abrasive sheets are used. • Remove PSA sheets soon after completing each sanding operation in order to prevent the adhesive from creating a hardened bond with the backing pad. REMOVING PSA ABRASIVE SHEETS To remove, lift an edge of accessory with your fingernail and peel it off the backing pad. Note: If PSA paper is accidentally left on the pad, the best way to remove it is to sand for a few minutes to soften the adhesive backing. PUNCH PLATE After the paper has been installed, it will be necessary to punch holes into the paper using the punch plate provided with your sander. Align sander base with punch plate and push down on sander until punch plate pierces the paper. Then remove punch plate from sander (Fig. 1). Dust Collection MICROFILTER DUST CANISTER -The integral dust extraction system collects sanding dust in canister supplied with your sander. For maximum efficiency, the dust canister should be emptied frequently during operation. ! WARNING Your tool is equipped with a dust canister, empty it frequently, after completion of sanding and before storing the sander. Be extremely careful of dust disposal, materials in fine particle form may be explosive. Do not throw sanding dust on an open fire. Combustion from mixture of varnishes, lacquers, polyurethane, oil or water with dust particles can occur if there is a static discharge, spark introduced in the box, or excessive heat. REMOVING AND INSTALLING DUST CANISTER To remove dust canister: squeeze release tabs on both sides of canister and simply pull away from the tool (Fig. 1). To install dust canister: align dust port with hole in canister and push canister onto tool until it locks into place. FIG. 6 CLEANING AND EMPTYING THE DUST CANISTER To empty canister, hold canister as shown and maintain a firm grip (Fig. 6). Firmly push upward on tab on corner of lid, and remove from canister. Knock excess dust out of the microfilter, or remove dust with your fingers or a soft brush. You may notice that all the dust may not come out of the canister. This will not affect sanding performance but will reduce dust collection efficiency. NOTE: Do not wash the micro filter with soap and water. Dust may become more firmly lodged in the pores, which will reduce dust collection, and damage the micro filter. -8-
